The first i remember knowin' was that lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where i was bound
No one could steer me right but mama tried
Was the only rebel child from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my sunday learnin'
For the bad i kept on turnin' and mama couldn't hold me anymore
And i turned 21 in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleadin' i denied
That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried
Dear old daddy rest his soul left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best
Oh she tried to raise me right but i refused
And i turned 21 in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleadin' i denied
That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried
